The blade, hand guard, and tip are similar to Greek Ionic architecture. The teeth seem to take the form of a star, possibly referring to the fact that at the end of the storyline of the first game in Olympus Coliseum, there is a faint silhouette of Hercules in the stars, or Sora, Donald, and Goofy's silhouette in the second game. The token is the symbol of the Gods of Olympus and is also the Olympus Stone Sora borrowed from Hercules to protect him from the magic of the Underworld.
